You need to understand the difference between

a. The Take-off Distance (TOD)
b. The Take-off Distance Required (TODR)

To calculate the TOD we start with the graphical distance and apply the slope and surface condition factors. This is what has been done for the SEP in Section 2 page 2.

To calculate the TODR we start with the TOD and apply the regulatory factor.
The process is to start with the graphical distance and apply the slope, surface condition and regulatory factors. This is what has been done for the MEP in Section 3 page 2.

When doing the performance exam it is essential that you look very carefully at what they are asking for. That "R" at the end of the TORR, TODR and LDR make all the difference in deciding which option is correct.
